Phoebe Ainslie is a multidisciplinary artist based in Berkshire, working primarily in hyperrealistic oil painting.

Her recent practice investigates the nuanced relationship between visibility and privacy, focusing on the tension between beauty and objectification. Her recent work considers how feminine subjects might exist beyond the confines of the gaze, captured in moments of stillness, ambiguity, and resistance. She is interested in modes of representation that allow for opacity, where the subject is not required to perform, explain, or be fully seen.

Her portfolio includes work across various media, though oil painting remains a central focus due to its capacity for depth, realism, and subtle surface detail. Selected works from her degree show and earlier projects can be viewed on this site.
